hey...I liked that Occupy t-shirt you wore in St. Barths...
Welcome to the Caribbean! You've waited some time for it. You've all taken the bumpy plane ride with us to get here and now I hope you enjoy your stay as much as I did.
I have some history here, in St. Barths. It was the first Caribbean island I'd ever been to, and that was a trip I took with my husband, Anthony, in 1993, the year before we were married. We spent our first married Christmas together here, too. This is us out on Saline beach with a topless girl.
Not the same beach Sonja ogled my ass but on this very same property.
I knew we had booked a house on Saline, I didn't realize until we arrived that it was the same property where we stayed on that first trip, and many subsequent ones. Anthony's mother, Lee, rented it with her husband Herbert Ross, a legendary choreographer and movie director. The house, then, was much smaller. It was a French country-style home, not modern, but equally beautiful. There was a chicken coop and wild gardens.
hey...I liked that Occupy t-shirt you wore in St. Barths...
As the "hostess" of such a wonderful gift to others, they certainly didn't honor you nor were grateful, nor considerate to your needs/feelings that I wished you would experience what true friendship is.......as those "ladies" were awful to you and didn't deserve your kindness nor that wonderful trip.
Carole, Regarding this "housewives" trip to St. Barts: You should NEVER have positioned this trip as a "girls trip". In fact, it appeared as though you simply wanted a way to be in St. Barts while Russ was there without looking like a "stalker girlfriend". You clearly wanted to be with him at every opportunity. That's no girl trip in my book.
My friends and I are well-off and all happily coupled. However, our annual girls trip is "girls only"... no boyfriends or husbands allowed. Whether it's for visits, drop-bys...whatever. It's either a "girls trip" or not. In this instance, all of the spouses/boyfriends should have been invited.
You, as the hostess herself was NOT on a 'girls trip"... why should any of the others have to be without their mates?
Sorry, but the fighting and misunderstandings were ALL your fault. You should never have put the girls in these positions. Since obviously your agenda was to be with Russ at every opportunity, you should have opened it up as a couples trip.
(btw: Luann joined the others in clearly expressing her own concern about Reid's presence. If you haven't already gleaned this: she speaks out of all sides of her mouth in order to either make herself look better or cover her butt. She is no one's friend; she'll throw any of you under the bus to protect herself)
Hugs girl, I really feel bad for you on this trip, you planned...you keep things a lot more together than anyone on there.
Carole, I really like a lot about you lol and here comes the BUT. When you and Lu Anne were at the store you made a very passive aggressive comment to her about being friends. It took LuAnne aback and it did the same to me too....There's a lot more to you than you are showing and I think you are repressed. Your anger might come out in quiet hit and runs like you did to LuAnne...Just saying
I hope you and Heather don't change! You two are the only reason I still watch this train wreck.
Hey Carole-
First, I remember you as being a reported and loved you then, love you now! Thanks for being a great addition to RHofNY!
I love, love, love your sense of humor.
In reference to the Why is Sonja bringing it up again? If anyone can explain it to me I'll send you a round-trip ticket to St. Barths....I think that when Sonja keeps bringing up about her toaster because when the Pirate wants her to make breakfast in bed, she can say "You have already had my buns, but now you can taste them "toasty..." (referring to the but*****) joke! Would you like some icing on it!??/ (Gross! - I even gross myself out!) Please send me the tickets for a nice Christmas present!
You by the way are now my favorite of all the RH wives - including OC and NJ!
Love you Carole! Hugs!
lexiandsoso's mom - Bonnie
Love you on the show and so enjoy your blogs!! It is so refreshing to have an intelligent, cool woman on this show!! Unfortunately, given the high-degree of drama required of all the HW casts, I fear you won't last more than one season!! I do hope that Bravo will keep you on to emphasize the juxtaposition of healthy, grounded person and all the crazies!!!
Since you joined NYC cast, I am watching the show again. You are beautiful, intelligent, a very collected and charming person. The voice of reason in a verbal assault on the senses....ah refreshing. Love your sense of humor too... So keep it up, and I hope you are able to regroup during the break.
i really enjoyed your blog... very well written!! by the way... did you insinuate on tonight episode that sonya and tomas were caught engaging in butt sex?? omg, that was by far the funniest grossest thing ive seen on this episode!! and i thought sonya couldnt top the grossness of her period episode... i feel sorry for ya girl. hang in there.
Carole, you have such a great disposition and so far seem to have handled these dramas beautifully. Well done.
I really enjoy you on the show. I appreciate your obvious level headedness, maturity and classiness. It must be hard to control yourself around the ridiculous and silly antics of Ramona and Sonya. They are so absurd nearly all the time!
In general love how you dress excpet when you dress like a 20 year old, and didn't get the white cowboy boots with the skirt but thought you looked gorgeous at dinner the first night. Overall you are a definite bright spot in a sea of murky characters!
You are a breath of fresh air on this show. At least someone is normal. Enjoy your sane moments as opposed to the other two crazies. Please renew for next season, I'll keep watching then.
Carole you and Heather are the total package i.e.: funny, witty, smart, and beautiful. Your remakes in regards to Luanne had me in stitches. You was dead on when you said they did that and they raise you something else! Love it. I like the way you and Heather handle things. Real women see thru all the phoniness of the other ladies. I think you and Heather are on the same playing field.
Carole you are the most genuine, normal and interesting person to ever grace these shows. Thank you for that. Aviva is two-face, Luann is a dominant phony, Heather is trying too hard and a bit bossy at times...but not too bad a person, Sonja is a piece of trash, Ramona is flat out crazy. You are refreshing. Take care.
Carole, I enjoy your blog more than the actual RHW episodes. Is there another book on the horizon? "Memoirs of a RHW Survivor"? "I Was the Only One in on the Jokes" ? You are one in a million, girl!
Naughty Lu. Pumpkin heads might roll!
Hi Carole,
Re: the toaster oven war> When the meetings took place with Heather and crew, Sonja was in la-la land. She is not paying attention half the time and can't make a decision. Then the second meeting, where she included the "mouthpiece" I mean Ramona of course, well nothing could come out of that meeting. Between Ramona batting her eyes at the guys and sneering at Heather and Sonja somewhere in her own head, how could anyone even think business? If I was Heather I would have cancelled the meeting when I say Ramoutha walk in. Anyhow...it seems that Sonja la-la totally forgot, or maybe never absorbed the fact that she didn't "hire" Heather for this fiasco, it was an offer from Heather to help her. DUH!
Then as for bringing it up in St. Barths, well that's easy.......Drama! When she and her co-hort Ramoutha are together having a few brews and Heather appears in their radar, it's time to make a "Toast" or a toaster oven. If I ever do see a Sonja toaster oven I assure you I will not purchase it. The memories of how it came to be will surely turn out burnt toast everytime.
Carole, hang in there and try to deal with Yummie Tummies, Pinots, Countessa behaviors, Aviva anxieties and still remain calm and cool.
Is what Sonja blurted-out true Carole........did you really date George Clooney for a year?!?!
I'll take "why is Sonja bringing up the toaster oven again" for the tickets, Alex:
Because finally in the epic battle between the Amazons (Luann) and the not-so-Amazons (Sonja), she can finally be first...by proudly and loudly proclaiming she has a bun in the oven!
Carole, you write the best blogs ever. You're clever, you are so patient with those women, you always try to stop the madness and if you did date George Clooney you're too good to be true. You're going to have to get down and dirty though if you want to stay on the show. They only llike mean spirited women and you, Aviva and Heather don't fit that bill. Good luck with those women!
No, it isn't just you. One difference is that you were an individual before you became a couple. You had an identity. The other women don't have a clue who or what they are until a man defines them. I'm like you -- happy with myself or with someone else. Only depend on myself. Takes so much of the stress out of any relationship I have, and lets the fun shine thru. I don't know how you got cast with these women (except Heather - she's the most like you), but kudos to you for maintaining your sanity.
Hey Carole!
What might be a LOT of fun and enlightenment (probably wrong word, lol, and perhaps not for you, but something to think about)... if you'd do a Housewives "rotation" ... Beverly Hills, Atlanta, Orange County, Miami....and back to NYC...
Your blogs and insight would no doubt be fantastical :O)
all good wishes + cheerio my deario!
You are one amazing gal, Carole!
Still chuckling over your hilarious comment about introducing the "Two crazy, drunken aunts"....
It makes me wonder... are R+S consciously imitating "Edina and Pats" from Ab Fab? and Avery would of course be "Saffron" in the role-reversal of a mature child taking care of the mum --- and chiding her for her sottish ways!!
Eddy and Pats are tv CHARACTERS tho. There certainly couldn't be REAL women who behave as such???!
p.s. What a lovely photo of you and Anthony on the beach. Thank you for sharing it. Lovely.
Hi Carole,
Everyone loves your blogs, What Remains, and we are all looking forward to your upcoming work... I support you and enjoy your writing 100% and though I KNOW you don't need my advice, I HAVE to say this:
Please, PLEASE never, ever, EVER use the phrase "breath of fresh air" as long as you live! I know people are using it in a complimentary way to describe you and how you appear on RHoNY; however, I cannot handle hearing it, reading it, seeing it . . . again. Ever.
"Why is Sonja bringing it (toaster oven) up again? If anyone can explain it to me I'll send you a round-trip ticket to St. Barths."
Answer- She was drunk!
Michigan gets cold in the winter, so book the trip for January.
I find many of the Housewives entertaining but out of all of the seasons I watch (NY, NJ and BH) you and Heather are the only women I would every want to spend any time with. You guys just seem so cool and while I enjoy having a bit of sanity on the show, I wonder how you guys go roped into this. Should we expect a Housewives expose (fiction or non) from you soon? ;)
Carole - I think you are hysterical. OMG. I wish I had your wit. Your contribution to this show is unsurpassed. I have renewed interest after last season. Don't go changin'...
lol poccacountess lol think maybe johnny depp did poke the countess
hahaha..I love you Carole--can we all just sign up to read your blogs in lieu of watching the show? Separately, I like Ramona and feel sorry for Sonja--together they are an immature disaster...what women in their fifties or close to it demand their noodles so they can play in the pool and bitch and moan that their gracious hostess had her boyfriend over for an evening?? How in the world did you ever not just haul off and pop them one!? LOL I loved What Remains--read it in one evening and overnight and couldn't get it out of my mind for days...your husband was soo handsome-I'm glad that you kept your memories that flooded to you upon your arrival to yourself on the trip if only to preserve them in the prescence of Sonja and Ramona, but glad you shared them with us here! Can't wait until next week!! Or can we? LOL =D
"Why is Sonja bringing it (toaster oven) up again? If anyone can explain it to me I'll send you a round-trip ticket to St. Barths."
Sonja wants to sell toasters for financial reasons... drama over photo shoots and logos creates more publicity for her and the silly toaster. If her toaster oven gets mentioned in every episode, she has succeeded. Heather is pretty professional and therefore defensive of her role in Sonja's project so she feels compelled to defend herself. Ramona will happily argue about anything with anyone as long as she gets attention.
St Barths looks awesome. Send me and I'll report back on Tomas.
omg my favorite line of the show this week, Hi Carol is sitting right here. When Aviva and SonJa where having the man argument. This was so funny. I really could not help but wonder maybe you should just make a habit of being in the background of every scene. Wouldnt it be funny if you just could be a fly on the wall. Love Love Love your humor and your facial expressions. Hope you stay on next year.
just keep it fun....no need to take moments and "loudness" too seriously or you will never make it and oooh yeah in all past seasons in all HW series "ladies trip" has a stringent definition. better to figure that out sooner than later
Carole one question, how in the he'll did you get mixed up with these nimrods
Okay, I'm you in Indianapolis. Okay, I'm you without the title, the body or your resume. HOWEVER, I am always the one without a guy and I'm always comfortable hanging out with my friends and often times with their husbands. Who cares? You are so right, you don't need testosterone around you all the time. Now, I'm still looking for my Russ though. Too many men want to much too fast. There are no men here who can actually handle the casual thing. Let's be real though - I'm watching Bravo.......not too many straight guys can follow a conversation about Bravo. Hahahaha!
Please Lord, I hope you will put Ramona and Sonia in their place at the reunion show.
I'll take that trip to St. Bart's - free advertising courtesy of Housewives drama. I would never buy a toaster over but I might have been tempted if the hunky guy had been on the box - alas. As I have posted before, love your blog and the longer the better.
I luvs me some Carole! You are a breath of fresh air! Thank you!
I can appreciate your fear of flying in small planes as I have the same problem. However, if you base it solely on the accident that occurred in 1999, that doesn't make complete sense. John Jr. was not a professional pilot. In spite of poor visibility, he decided to pilot the small plane even after a professional pilot was available to fly the plane for him. The crash (in that case) was due to pilot (John Jr.) error. As painful as that loss was and continues to be, it was could have been avoided. It would be the same thing as staying out of cars because you knew someone who died in a car crash.
What Remains is a beautifully absorbing book. I just finished it and I look forward to your next book.
All hail Carole;) Your writing is so funny and engaging. Love it and love you. I wish I had your chic"ness" I have to push the pause button every scene you are in to study what you are wearing. Your style is so easy, trendy, edgy, classy, comfortable and age appropriate...you're not even trying. I watch all the housewives and you by far are a cut above the rest, though I really adore Heather and I like Aviva. You my darling are the HW "it" girl. Can you just have your own show so I don't have to put up with the Ramonas and Sonjas?
When I first saw you on the show I remembered articles I read years ago of you, your late husband, the late John Jr. and Caroline Kennedy. I didn't know if you were the same Carole, then i thought (damn) Bravo hit the jackpot when they signed someone like you.
I don't know how you dealt with the great loss but you are one tough cookie with a great life and amazing past. Thank you for letting us into your life for a peek.
hum... humm... huummm...
You with your princess title, even if you don't use it, should be much more protective of LuAnn. Having traveled the world you obviously haven't stopped to see it nor gotten to know the cultures and countries. Where is your loyalty?
hi carole, had to laugh at the part when you said you heard male voices one of them is Luann
ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
@cherwin Ramoutha....... Funniest thing ever. Love it.
@ProudENFP Carole will always be a breath of fresh air!
I do not think she is so terrified of flying in the plane but of the memory of losing a friend.
Lynda, while I do agree with you about the crash being 'pilot error', I respectfully, must correct one thing about your comment: John was a licensed pilot, however, he was not certified as an 'instument rated' pilot.
The difference between the two, is that an 'instrument rated' pilot is a pilot who is able to fly in weather with reduced visibilities such as rain, low clouds, or heavy haze and has the skills needed to complete flights without visual reference to the ground (blind). John did not have this certification, so when the weather was bad he was not able to fly the plane using only the instrument panel. John was a recreational pilot and did not need to be instrument rated in order to fly, but as we all know, when you do that, you take your life in to your own hands.
I only know this because my husband's hobby is flying. He is instrument rated. He flew the same flight under the same weather conditions in a simulator to see how the crash could have happened. Without using his instrument panel and only using a visual just like John, he crashed! The second try, he used only his instrument panel and he landed successfully. He said if John knew how to read the instruments he would have survived.
@PowerShot This is funny. I would say doing features on amputees in Cambodia and traveling with military in various countries in the Middle East and reporting on refugees in Southeast Asia would lay to rest the absurd claim that Carole hasn't stopped "nor gotten to know the cultures and countries." Carole's priority should not be to the other women of this show, all of whom are adults and can make their own (questionable) decisions themselves.
@PowerShot You lost me. Are you saying Carole should be loyal to LuAnn because they are both royalty? How arrogant and snobbish that would be!
@PowerShot Whats your point? You are not making any sense.
@Margarita12 I agree. Powershot didn't make sense. I love Carole. I think her blogs are hysterical and truthful.t

One of the good advices anyone can give in any endeavour is to "take a risk and learn from your mistakes", a better advice that could be followed by everyone is to "learn from others' mistakes". There are instances where we can prevent disaster from happening by arming ourselves with the proper knowledge and such proper knowledge could even be learned by learning from the mistakes that were committed by others.
Mistake and Social Media Marketing
One of the newest marketing strategy for SEO companies and SEO consultants is via the internet is Social media marketing, this is said to be a very productive marketing strategy but also a very volatile one since you will be dealing with people directly through social media networks, where comments placed could either make or break your company reputation. This is why committing a mistake in your social media campaign could turn your marketing campaign into a nightmare.
Social Media Marketing Mistakes to Avoid
Through the experiences of social media managers there were several Social media marketing mistakes that we have learned and are now sharing it with you in order to avoid this kind of problems in the near future:
1. Lacks Interaction – setting up a Facebook fan page or a Twitter Account for the company is a potential avenue for marketing, therefore you have to work to increase your company reputation in the world of social media, which means that you have to interact with your clients or potential clients who would be asking your questions, giving their comments and posting their suggestions. By quickly responding to their queries you will be able to manage your company's online reputation.
2. Forgetting the Call To Action – a basic requirement in every marketing effort is to include your call to action method. This is because of the fact that call to actions would tend to motivate clients, potential clients or maybe the site visitors to purchase or avail of your products and services, should you post a status update a little call to action may not hurt.
3. Unreliable Content – sometimes it is easier to copy content and post it in your social media status however this is a dangerous practice since it would open up the avenue for complaints and negative comments in your website, make sure that all the content that you will be placing in your social media status is original and reliable because all clients or potential clients visiting your website are looking only for reliable contents.
Conclusion on Social Media Marketing
Social media marketing deals with actual people who are in the members of such online community, once you create your own social media page you are actually building a community for your company and thus it is important to look after your community by not committing such social media mistakes previously stated.

Academy of Art University's School of Motion Pictures and Television MFA student Xinxin Liu created an honorary documentary film titled "Junior League of San Francisco 2012 Community Honoree". It was shown at the Junior League of San Francisco Women at the Center Honors luncheon held at the St. Regis Hotel this May. This film and event was to commemorate Charlotte Shultz, the wife of Former U.S. Secretary of State, and her contributions to the San Francisco community.
Xinxin felt privileged to have the opportunity to participate in such a high profile project. School of Multimedia Communications instructor Paul Colardo assigned Xinxin with the project of making a video honoring Charlotte Shultz. "I'm so glad that Paul fully trusted me and my friend Erinn Kathryn Burke and chose to give us this big project," said Xinxin.
Charlotte Shultz has worked as the most welcoming face in the city of San Francisco for eight mayoral administrations as Chief of Protocol for the city and as the Chief of Protocol for the State of California from 2004 to 2010. "Our goal with the video was to show a well-rounded view of Charlotte as both an incredible and indefatigable face of San Francisco. But also the woman behind the welcoming face," said Xinxin. "The video we made both honors her works and highlights her achievements. We loved showing more of who she is, rather than what she does."
In order to best illuminate the diverse philanthropic background of their honoree, Xinxin decided to take a testimonial approach to the video and use interviews from former mayors Gavin Newsom, and Willie Brown, and current mayor Ed Lee among others. This helped to paint a vivid picture of the contributions Charlotte has brought to the city of San Francisco. "Charlotte is a very colorful person. I came up with the idea to ask each interviewee to choose one color to describe Charlotte. The colors were the theme through the whole piece and added to the vivaciousness of the video," she said.
Xinxin was practically born into the film industry in Beijing, China in 1988. Her filmmaker father would often bring her along with him to the sets while he was filming, allowing her to see the filmmaking process first-hand. It is no surprise that she is pursuing a MFA in Motion Pictures and Television with an emphasis in Production and is very busy producing several thesis films.
One film she is very proud of involves actor James Kyson Lee, from the TV series Heroes, who plays the leading role in her upcoming work. She is very excited to see where these opportunities will lead.
After graduating from Academy of Art University, Xinxin hopes to find an internship or job in the film and television industry and devote her life to bringing Chinese media on par with Western media. "I want to contribute to the cultural communication between the U.S. and China by using film and television as my medium," she said.

It is the only such program in the state to have received Disease Management Certification from the Joint Commission, and is 1 of only 4 programs in the nation to receive certification in Asthma-Pediatrics.
The Cystic Fibrosis Center is the largest program in the state of Michigan. Our research improves our knowledge of cystic fibrosis and provides better ways to treat it. As a result, our patients' expected life spans have steadily increased expectation. So many are now living into adulthood, we created an adult program to support patients over 21 years of age.
Our Pulmonary Function Laboratory offers a range of tests from a staff of experienced respiratory therapists who put both patients and parents quickly at ease with their commitment to patient care. The testing includes pulmonary function testing for infants and children, asthma testing, spirometry (measures lungs for conditions that affect breathing), infant pulmonary function testing, exercise testing, quantitative sweat testing (for cystic fibrosis) and modified sleep studies.
The Comprehensive Apnea and Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Program works in consultation with general pediatricians to improve the outcomes of infants with developmental respiratory problems such as apnea and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. With the use of newer treatments, including prenatal steroids and exogenous surfactant, smaller, more premature infants are now surviving.

I had higher hopes for the feel of the fabric after reading another review. Make no mistake, the fabric is quite nice, but I was hoping for a silkier and more polished feel. I would describe the weight as "medium." These made-in-India sheets came out of the washer/dryer looking very nice and nearly wrinkle free, but the fabric has a "nap" that I'm not crazy for. This nap is going to grab flannel and cotton bed clothes and hang on tight enough for a serious "nightgown twist" or "pajama wedgie." Maybe this nap will lessen after repeated laundering - I certainly hope so. I ordered "taupe" which is nearly as dark brown as dark chocolate. None of these things are a big enough issue for me to return the sheets, but it's still a bit disappointing and I wouldn't buy them again.
Bought these sheets in sage and think they are great. The color is what I expected. The material quality exceeded my expectations. I have the 8" Serta memory foam mattress that I bought from this site. I also have a 2" memory foam topper that I put on it. WIth the mattress and topper combined the sheets fit very well. They fit the corners very nice and they don't feel like they are about to rip as some others have. Fitted sheet fits the matress surface and corners tightly. Flat sheet is long enough to tuck deep under the footboard end of the mattress and still pull all of the way up to the top edge near the headboard. After 1st wash they were still a little too rough. After 2nd washing they had just a hint of newness / roughness. After 3rd wash they were comfortable. After 4th wash they are perfect. Definitely some of the most comfortable sheets I have slept on anywhere....ever! I don't think I would consider sheets with a lower thread count than these, especially for the insignificant difference in price compared to the several years of use that I will get out of them. Have no fear of these sheets after a few washes. Anyone that would complain about the comfortability of these sheets after washing out the newness probably has a life-long predisposition towards complaining about everything in life... those people annoy me.
I bought these sheets to replace a set of 600 TC sheets that I bought in Egypt six years ago that had worn out. I was sceptical about them living up to the quality of the ones they were replacing but they definitely have! They have only been washed about three times but even after the first wash they had softened up and are very comfortable and they have not pilled at all. I will definitely be buying some more of them.
After purchasing a cheap 200 TC set of sheets from ***, I knew I needed something much softer. I did some research about thread counts, materials, etc., & decided to order these. I was very disappointed to discover that these didn't feel any more comfortable than the cheap set from ***. While the material is heavier, they feel stiff & coarse, even after washing. I ended up purchasing a different brand w/ a 400 TC from *** for half the price, which are far more comfortable! If I were you, I'd save your money & shop elsewhere.
When I opened the package, I thought at first they had shipped the wrong color, but they didn't. I ordered 'taupe' and got that, but they really aren't. Beware, their taupe is "milk chocolate" brown. The cotton is a high quality, but they aren't soft. If you care about wrinkles (I don't) then don't buy these sheets. They wrinkle badly. All that said, I'm not returning them because they will soften and the cotton is a high quality. If you wan't a soft sheet to begin with, buy Sateen sheets.
I ordered Queen size ... sheets are fine .... pillow cases which are supposed to be 30" long are only 26-1/2" so pillow slips out (and that's a standard size pillow). Overstock graciously will let me return, so you have to love their return policy! I've decided to keep and just not use the pillowcases.
I like these sheets. My only complaint in when I sleep prone without a pillow I notice the sheets are not as comfy on my face as my other sheets (not scratchy...just not super soft). I don't notice an issue when I sleep on my side with a pillow. I'm hoping the sheets will soften with washing. Having said that, I do find the sheets to be soft, over all.
Love these sheets! Color is exactly what I was looking for in navy. Perfect right from the dryer . I just wish they came in a heavier thread count. That's the only reason for my rating not being excellent they are beautiful .
Purchased this sheet set in black for my teenage son's room. He really likes it and I have washed it a few times now and no color fading. It is nice and good quality sheets.
These sheets were supposed to be high quality. However, after six weeks they showed signs of pilling in the area where I slept. And now after eight weeks, the pilling is significant. The sheets have only been washed three times. Pilling this soon is not expected even in the cheapest sheets.

Answers Bible Curriculum is a full-featured, chronological, 3-year Sunday school program. Its 156 lessons are synchronized across 7 age groups from preschool to adults. Each group covers Genesis through Revelation and learns the same material—but at different levels of depth—empowering exciting and easy discussion for the entire family!
In response to the startling findings of numerous studies—including those reported in the book, Already Gone—Answers Bible Curriculum is designed to stem the tide of skepticism toward God's Word that begins in gradeschool. That skepticism turns to disbelief, and causes over two-thirds of young people to abandon church by the time they graduate.
No other Sunday school program so thoroughly equips believers to defend the truth of the Bible! And because all ages cover the same basic material at the same time, parents can easily discuss it with their children—and add insights from their own learning. Fun and easy-to-use, this curriculum lays the foundation for life!
Each convenient kit includes everything you need: detailed Teacher Guide, a Student Guide or Take Home Sheets, colorful posters, and a Resource DVD-ROM. Seven age levels.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) - Health advocates are warning that Kansas' decision to stop providing free HIV testing for many small, rural communities restricts services for some of the most vulnerable in the state.The Kansas Department of Health and Environment used to provide services - such as free HIV testing kits and specimen analysis - to 40 counties. But since Jan. 1, the health department has cut back, providing those services to only the 10 most populous counties with generally the most cases of HIV, The Hutchinson News reported Monday (http://bit.ly/Ybxd9A )."What we're really talking about is potentially decreased access to services," said Michelle Ponce, executive director of the Kansas Association of Local Health Departments. "If there's not an entity in a community able to provide HIV testing on a basis which clients can afford, it's not going to be done."The state said the money spent on free testing could be used more efficiently, particularly in counties with low rates of HIV infection.Ralph Wilmoth, director of the state health department's HIV/AIDS program, said the state and the federal Center of Disease Control and Prevention chose to use resources where they are most needed. He said there are just 2,750 people living with HIV in Kansas and that in some counties the HIV infection rate is so low that spending money on testing in those areas made no sense.Wilmoth also noted that the new federal Affordable Care Act is expected to provide HIV testing for people who previously were not eligible.Donna Sweet, University of Kansas director of internal medicine education at Via Christi Regional Medical Center in Wichita, cautioned that people who live in rural communities where everyone knows everyone may be unwilling to discuss their concerns with a primary care physician. They might not recognize the signs or understand the risks, she said."Certainly it's going to make an impact. People who are poor generally don't have the money to pay for anything that is not free," said Sweet, who has been the principal investigator for the Mountain Plains AIDS Education and Training Center since 1988.Free testing will still be offered in Johnson, Sedgwick, Wyandotte, Shawnee, Crawford, Pratt, Riley, Saline, Thomas and Trego counties.

OverviewThe Ludlum House is situated at the base of a mixed-conifer forest at the confluence of Wheeler Creek and the Winchuck River in southwestern Oregon, offering guests a unique setting for recreation and relaxation.
The house was rebuilt in 1999 as a near-replica of the original two-story Ludlum family vacation house. Mr. Ludlum, an oil-company executive, constructed the house in 1939, then sold the property to the Forest Service following World War II.
The accessible home offers some of the amenities needed for a comfortable lodging experience, although guests will need to bring several of their own supplies to ensure a safe and enjoyable stay.
Natural Features:
The Ludlum House is somewhat secluded and surrounded by a towering old-growth forest, with an expanse of lawn stretching out before it. Within an 1.5 hour drive from the house, guests have access to the rugged southern Oregon and northern California coasts and further south, the Redwood National Park.
Hiking, wildlife viewing and fishing top the list of recreational opportunities in the area surrounding the Ludlum House.
Ludlum House is two stories and features one room on a lower floor, and a three-quarter dividing wall upstairs. The first floor, porch and surrounding grounds are all accessible. Picnic tables and a campfire ring are located near the cabin, as well as an accessible vault toilet.

Once a week, on my to Pilates in Downtown Brooklyn, I stop at the new Shake Shack. The shakburger is A1,the fries not so much, the 50/50 just fine, all in all, well worth the limited wait.ReplyDelete
Okay...I'm done with Zagat...I dream about soup dumplings....they are that good.
I enjoy the Shake Shack, but the hustling for a seat makes it a miserable experience. Having someone hover over you waiting for you to finish, if you've been lucky enough to find a chair, is really unpleasant.ReplyDelete
So far, I've been receptive to your caveats, and I have to say this: any self-respecting bartender can (or, maybe in the old days could) make a great classic gin Martini -- at least if you specified how you wanted it. Any more than a standard cocktail price and you're paying for the overhead, not the Martini.ReplyDelete
You shake my martini and I'll bruise you.ReplyDelete
Tri-Tip burger is sooo much better than 5 Guys & Shake Shack!!! But I guess it's a good thing that it is a secret.ReplyDelete
I've been to the Brooklyn Shake Shack and the lines weren't too bad. I would never bother with the lines at Madison Square Park or the one on 86th Street; they are way too long.ReplyDelete
Shake Shack (a) they're burgers are mediocre at best (b) they're shakes are disappointing. I guess it's another example of style (and marketing) over substance.ReplyDelete
I dont mind Shake Shack but I'd rather have Kool Bloo when it comes to the wait time (much faster than Shake Shack) and quality (9oz pure beef!!).ReplyDelete

The Columbus Dispatch (Ohio) - Courthouse work may yield 100 jobs
A $6.7 million project to make the Joseph P. Kinneary Courthouse more energy efficient will put up to 100 people to work during the next two years, Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy said.
Once it's launched, the construction work will employ about 50 to 100 people over about two years… The Columbus courthouse project, and several other similar ones in Ohio, stems from $5.5 billion worth of stimulus money allotted for federal building-renovation efforts, including 'high-performance green building' initiatives, according to the federal agency. [5/29/09]
Burlington Free Press (Vermont) - ARRA dollars pave roads, maybe path to new economy -- Funds pave way to economic boost
Vermonters need look no further than the nearest paving project to see federal economic stimulus dollars at work. Over the next two construction seasons, the state expects to spend $125 million in ARRA dollars on road and bridge work, a welcome supplement to the state's shrinking transportation revenues. All told, Vermont could benefit from $700 million or more in ARRA funding to both maintain critical state services in the time of significant revenue decline and boost business activity to speed up the state's economic recovery.
The federal recovery Web site predicts 8,000 jobs will be saved or created in Vermont as a result of the ARRA dollars. Jay Perkins at Pike Industries said his company had been preparing for a lot of belt-tightening in 2009 -- until the federal stimulus dollars came into the picture. "The stimulus actually jump-started our company," Perkins said. he predicted Pike would add extra workers this summer to the base 250 the company employs. "We have filled 25 new positions since the beginning of the year and have an additional 10 positions in the pre-employment process," he said. "We still have an additional 14 open positions we expect to fill shortly. So, in total we are adding 49 positions to our work force this year in Vermont." [5/29/09]
Staten Island Advance (New York) - Where Staten Island's stimulus $$ are going
Staten Island's two health clinics for the uninsured will get a boost of more than $1 million each and the borough could lead the city in new jobs stemming from the federal economic stimulus package, officials told a crowd in Stapleton last night.
The overall stimulus package extends enrollment and benefits of wide-reaching programs, like boosting food stamp payments more than 13 percent, ending tax liability on unemployment benefits, increasing Pell grants by $180 million statewide and giving a $400 tax credit to individuals, $800 for families.
At the meeting, an adviser to Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the city is getting $4 billion in operational funding and $1 billion for building projects… Much of the $4 billion will go toward averting teacher layoffs or to programs like Medicaid. It will allow 10,000 unemployed people to receive job training, provide 51,000 summer jobs for young people, and fund a $5.5 million 'go to school to get a job' program, whereby dropouts are given jobs in return for going back to school. [5/29/09]
Pittsburgh Post Gazette (Pennsylvania) - Stimulus-funded bridge project gets under way in Beaver County
'It's exactly what the stimulus program was intended to do,' said Mr. Rendell, who said the project would employ 40 people and five Pennsylvania companies, four of them from this region.
Mr. Rendell and Dan Cessna, district executive for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, said the project would not have happened for several years had it not been for the federal stimulus program.
'Right now, Beaver County needs this economic stimulus to get people to work and to rebuild its infrastructure in order to attract new residents and businesses. Stories like this one are playing out across the state as more than $1 billion in federal transportation stimulus funds is supplementing the $1.8 billion in work Pennsylvania had already planned for this year,' he said. [5/29/09]
The Seattle Times (Washington) - Wash. gets $672M in education stimulus
The state is receiving $672 million in federal stimulus money that state officials say will help offset budget cuts in the K-12 education system.
Gov. Chris Gregoire announced Wednesday that the money was now available, and that the state would be able to apply for an additional $331 million in the fall.
Gregoire says the money will help reduce class sizes in grades K-4 and provide additional training for educators, among other things…. Higher education will also receive some of the stimulus money. [5/27/09]
- Richmond Times-Dispatch (Virginia) - State gets $38 million from stimulus for child care
- Denver Business Journal (Colorado) - Colorado Community Health Centers to get $1.2 M under Stimulus
- Charleston Regional Business Journal (South Carolina) -- More than $84 million in stimulus funds going to S.C. military facilities

To make for the most comfortable ride to this particular trip, we've outfitted our titanium road bike with slightly wider tires. You'll appreciate this on those stretches of the route with hard-packed dirt (approximately 20% dirt and 80% paved).
On this Family Trip, our routes follow rolling terrain. Liberal van shuttling is incorporated into the itinerary to facilitate our activities and mileage is kept moderate to enable you to spend more time exploring on your own.
Given the geology of the area, the terrain consists of constant rises and valleys. In large part, it is the challenging terrain that makes biking in Maine so rewarding. Use extra caution along the narrow trafficked roads, which offer minimal shoulders. Also note that there are dips and rises along the pavement due to the seasonal freeze and thaw that occurs in the region.

Heading into the 2010 season, LSU's Les Miles sat on the hottest seat in the SEC West. His program had lost nine games in a two-year span and with his salary, Louisiana's depth of talent, and the success LSU had enjoyed in previous seasons, fans were talking dismissal.
Heading to the 2010 season, Georgia's Mark Richt sat on the warmest seat in the SEC East. His Dawgs finished 2008 with five losses… his worst mark to date in Athens. A year prior they have failed to live up to preseason #1 expectations. And the coach continued to lose to Florida.
In 2010, both coaches had their struggles. Miles was the butt of jokes — and the target of fans' anger — after his team nearly blew a home game to hapless Tennessee through game-management issues. Richt saw his team get off to an 1-4 start en route to a 6-7 finish.
But from 2009 to now, both coaches have silenced many (if not all) of the critics demanding their ousters. As Mike Herndon of The Mobile Press-Register writes:
"Yet, here they are two years later, preparing for the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta on Saturday. One with a shot at a second national title and the other with his first division title in four years. Patience may be a virtue after all, even in the win-now world of college football…
LSU and Georgia could have gotten antsy a couple of years ago. They are being rewarded for their patience this week."
Patience. It's an interesting idea considering Kansas and Memphis both fired coaches after two short seasons and, inside the SEC, many fans at Kentucky and Tennessee would like to see their coaches dismissed after just two years, too.

Tofflemire: Yikes! Now grandson is a teenagerIt's official. I'm now the grandmother of a teenager. My older grandson celebrated his 13th birthday a few weeks ago.
By: Kathy Tofflemire, INFORUM
It's official. I'm now the grandmother of a teenager. My older grandson celebrated his 13th birthday a few weeks ago.
Amazing. Wasn't it just the other day that I went shopping for the smallest outfit I could find for him to wear home from the hospital?
He didn't want any birthday gifts. He wanted money. Sounds like a teenager to me. He figured that cash from his mom and dad and grandmothers would allow him to purchase the iPod he had his eye on. Music – another thing of importance to the teen set, although he's been a music aficionado for a long time, thanks to his mother.
I was OK giving him money. As the boys get older, shopping for them becomes more difficult. I long ago stopped buying clothes for the older one. He has very specific tastes. His younger brother cares not a whit about his attire, but as the recipient of hand-me-downs, he'll be fashionable whether he cares or not. And he'll have an ample supply.
We celebrated the birthday with dinner at my grandson's restaurant of choice. (Grand Forks Herald columnist Marilyn Hagerty would approve.)
His special day was a relatively quiet affair. He would have been highly embarrassed if it had been similar to his mother's.
When she turned 13, I wished her a happy birthday and welcomed her to the teens – on a marquee atop a building on Minot, N.D.'s main thoroughfare. If memory serves (and it often doesn't), she took it quite well.
Of course, with age comes increased responsibility. Now that school is out, my grandson must spend more time ensuring the well-being of his younger brother. I find that an interesting turn of events since, up until now, the biggest threat to the 9-year-old's well-being was probably his older brother. Let's face it: Younger brothers are annoying, as are older ones.
Since their mother is an only child, she learns something new about a sibling relationship every day.
Now that my grandson is entering his teen years, I'll no doubt begin to worry about him making his way down the road to adulthood unscathed.
Right now, I am grateful that he is doing well in school, excels at sports and doesn't yet have a girlfriend. His "posse" seems to be a good bunch of boys, which I think is tremendously important. Peer pressure at this age can easily turn a youngster in the wrong direction.
But what I am most thankful for is that he hasn't gotten too old, yet, to want a hug from his grandmother.

Congress needs to investigate IRS
On May 10, America learned the IRS – perhaps the most frightening of all government agencies – has been singling out and targeting conservative groups, including tea party groups. The IRS has waged a three-year war against the tea party, harassing our groups and even auditing our individual members. This abuse of power is unacceptable and unconstitutional, and it must stop.

Betty Skelton, First Lady of Aerobatics, passes
Renowned pilot named to IAC Hall of Fame in 1988
September 1, 2011 –Aerobatics legend and International Aerobatics Club Hall of Fame member Betty Skelton - the "First Lady of Aerobatics" - died at her home in Winter Park, Florida, on Tuesday at the age of 85. Skelton was a pioneer as a female aerobatic competitor and air show performer, winning the U.S. National Female Aerobatic Championships for three straight years (1948-1950).
She also made the Pitts Special airplane famous, as her performances in her Lil Stinker created a market for the biplane designed by Curtis Pitts. That airplane is now part of the National Air and Space Museum collection.
Among her other aviation achievements were her participation in the post-World War II Cleveland National Air Races, speed records in a P-51 Mustang (421.6 mph) and an altitude mark of 29,050 feet in a Piper J-3 Cub.
She was also a participant in early EAA fly-ins, including the first one held at Oshkosh in 1956, according to Sport Aviation magazine.
Along with her aviation accomplishments, which supposedly began when she soloed an aircraft at 12 years old and earned her pilot certificate at age 16, Skelton drove race cars and set speed records of more than 300 mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats.
She is a member of both the Aviation (2005) and Motorsports (2008) Halls of Fame, and was inducted into the IAC Hall of Fame in 1988 in the second group inducted. She is also a member of the International Council of Air Shows Hall of Fame and the Corvette Hall of Fame.
Skelton also landed on the cover of LOOK Magazine in 1960 after successfully completing NASA's same physical tests required of the Mercury 7 astronaut candidates and tried unsuccessfully to become a U.S. Navy fighter pilot.

Buffalo, NY (WGR 550) -- Welcome for one final time into the Ted Darling Memorial Press Box. The Buffalo Sabres drop the curtain on the lockout-shortened 2013 season against the New York Islanders. There have been plenty of peaks and valleys throughout the last three months, but it feels like this season went way too fast.
Ryan Miller is expected to start in goal, and make his 500th NHL appearance. All have come in a Sabres' uniform, and it may be his last. I stress may because I am not sold on the idea of moving the franchise netminder. We can discuss that throughout the night if you would like by commenting in the thread below. I will add more of my two cents in addition to the scoring plays as well.
Remember, you can keep up with the Sabres' offseason by following me on Twitter: @PatWGR and also following Brian Koziol: @BrianWGR. For more from today's morning skate, click here for Paul Hamilton's pregame primer.
First Period
20:00 - The Sabres handed out some hardware prior to tonight's contest. All three awards were voted on by the players themselves: Rookie of the Year - Marcus Foligno, Unsung Hero - Mike Weber, MVP - Ryan Miller.
18:14 - Sure, Thomas Vanek was another easy choice for team MVP, but I think there is a chance this was the team's way of saying they are behind their goaltender. If it were not for Miller at certain points this season, things could have been much worse.
13:38 - Some good end-to-end action thus far as the Islanders are trying to stay out of the 8th spot in the Eastern Conference for another night. They can jump to 7th with a point tonight.
9:10 - Mike Weber's minor penalty is killed off by the Sabres, and the team did not give up many chances against.
6:58 - Mikhail Grigorenko's willingness to drive the net creates a power play for Buffalo as the forward was hauled down in front of the net.
End of Period
Goal Summary
BUF: none
NYI: none
Shots on Goal
Second Period
20:00 - Both John Scott and Eric Boulton were assessed 10-minute misconduct penalties for their antics at the end of the first period.
16:26 - SABRES GOAL. Thomas Vanek made a very nice pass into the slot, Brian Flynn received it and laced a low wrist shot past Evgeni Nabakov to open the scoring. Sometimes you have to tip you cap to the shooter, like there. 1-0 BUF.
15:18 - Tyler Ennis shows some anger as he goes after Thomas Hickey following a big hit at the Isles' blue line. Drew Stafford joins his fellow winger in the box for roughing. New York will now have a 4-on-3 power play for about a minute.
13:00 - No sweat for the blue and gold, as they not only kill off the 4-on-3 but the 5-on-3 chance when Brian Strait came out of the penalty box for New York.
9:57 - For the most part, the Sabres have looked like the team about to head to the postseason.
7:57 - Scott and Matt Carkner tangle right by the Sabres bench. Carkner is holding on for dear life as he must be surprised that the Buffalo forward went with him.
End of Period
Goal Summary
BUF: 3:29 - Brian Flynn (6) (Thomas Vanek)
NYI: none
Shots on Goal
Third Period
20:00 - Final twenty minutes of the season.
16:00 - Looking back on the season, I can see where things went horribly wrong for the blue and gold. But, I was sitting in the press box with Jesse Spector of The Sporting News and was debating the Sabres' upcoming season with him at the blue and gold scrimmage. He was not sold on the team, and I was. He was right, and I was wrong.
12:34 - ISLANDERS GOAL. Ryan Miller's shut out bid ends almost halfway throught the final stanza. Now we wait to see who jumps in front next. 1-1 tie.
10:11 - Keith Aucoin is the Isles' player who capitalized off of a Miller misread on a bounce off of the dasher boards.
5:25 - Miller just made a very nice save to keep the game tied with a player in the slot all alone. He has not been tested often, but has been good when needed.
2:50 - This is kind of fitting that the Sabres' season may be extended by overtime and a shootout.
1:15 - Timeout Sabres, as the team has a faceoff in their own zone after an icing call.
End of Regulation
Goal Summary
BUF: none
NYI: 7:26 - Keith Aucoin (6) (Andrew MacDonald)
Shots on Goal
3:35 - Things will get interesting now as Kevin Porter is called for hooking. 4-on-3 chance for the Isles now.
0:00 - Now...on to a shootout to end the blue and gold's season.
End of Game
Buffalo 2, New York Islander 1 FINAL/Shootout
Final Thoughts
Thomas Vanek's around the world move was enough, as his shootout goal was the only one of the session. The blue and gold send 19,070 fans home happy one last time.
Well folks, I owe you a debt of thanks for checking in all 48 games this season. It was not the easiest, it was not always fun, but I have enjoyed bringing it to you the whole way through. Thank you for texting, tweeting, and commenting along the way. Hope to speak with you all again in September. Until then, enjoy the offseason from all of us along the Sabres Radio Network.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - The NFL fined New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady $10,000 for an "aggressive slide" in Sunday's AFC championship game against the Baltimore Ravens.
The fine was announced on NFL.com.
On a first-and-goal near the end of the second quarter, Brady was forced out of the pocket to his left. He ran for 3 yards but slid before he could be tackled. In the process, he raised his right leg and kicked defender Ed Reed in the thigh.
Brady reportedly apologized to Reed in a text message.
A Patriots spokesman said he has no information on the fine.
A message was left seeking comment from a league spokesman.
The Ravens won 28-13 to advance to the Super Bowl.
THE NFC TEAM ended its first Pro Bowl practice by breaking the huddle and shouting, "Win." One night earlier, Denver quarterback Peyton Manning asked his fellow all-stars to play the game hard.
And players on both sides pledged to play more determined in a game with a reputation of being taken less seriously than preseason exhibitions or meaningless Week 17 contests.
"We're professional football players. I think you take a professional attitude to the game," said Indianapolis quarterback Andrew Luck, one of the two rookie passers in the game with Russell Wilson of Seattle. "It's an obligation of ours to continue this game."
The game was almost not scheduled this year after players faced blowback from Commissioner Roger Goodell and fans for not trying last year.
49ERS: Running back Frank Gore was fined $10,500 by the NFL after he wore his socks too low in Sunday's NFC championship game at Atlanta, an equipment violation. It marked the second time he was fined this season.
Gore said he was so focused on winning the game and getting the 49ers back to a Super Bowl that he didn't give his uniform all the attention he should have.
But he did his part on the field. Gore ran for touchdowns of 5 and 9 yards in the Niners' 28-24 comeback victory against the Falcons, putting his team in position to capture the franchise's sixth title.
• San Francisco will be the first team to touch down in New Orleans for the Super Bowl, arriving Sunday night. Baltimore is set to show up Monday.
RAIDERS: Oakland hired Tony Sparano as an assistant head coach who will work with the offensive line.
Sparano comes to the Raiders after one season as offensive coordinator for the New York Jets, who had one of the NFL's worst offenses. The Jets ranked 30th of 32 teams in overall offense, and averaged 17.5 points per game.
Sparano, who will be entering his 30th year coaching, was the Miami head coach for four years before being fired.
JASON WITTEN of Dallas and Charles Tillman of Chicago are among five finalists for the Byron "Whizzer" White Award presented by the NFL Players' Association.
The other finalists are Charlie Batch of Pittsburgh, Chad Greenway of Minnesota Vikings and Benjamin Watson of Cleveland.
The award recognizes players who go above and beyond to perform community service in their team cities and hometowns. It is named for a former player and Supreme Court Justice, Byron Raymond "Whizzer" White.
CHARGERS: Mike McCoy, the new head coach, added two more assistants to his staff, bringing Ron Milus in from Denver to coach the secondary and tapping Kent Johnston of Cleveland to serve as strength and conditioning coach.

CLEARWATER, Fla. - Norwood & BIC Graphic North America has announced that its Sleepy Eye, MN Publishing facility has earned ISO 9001:2008 registration from NSF International Strategic Registrations, Ltd (NSF-ISR).
ISO 9001:2008 is an internationally accepted standard that specifies requirements for quality management systems. NSF-ISR assessed the operation's quality management systems via a two-day comprehensive audit in July and found it to be in compliance with ISO 9001 standards. A certificate presentation was held on Aug. 16 at the Sleepy Eye facility.
"The principles of the ISO 9001:2008 include a strong customer focus, the support of top management, the process approach to drive efficiency and effectiveness, and a commitment to continual improvement," said Ray Bodamer, Site Manager. "Using ISO 9001:2008 helps us ensure that our customers receive consistent, best quality products and services."
This is the second Norwood & BIC Graphic facility to earn ISO 9001 management systems registration from NSF-ISR. The Clearwater Writing Instruments facility was awarded the registration in October 1999.
To maintain ISO registration, the facilities are audited annually to ensure continual improvement and verify that quality objectives are met and maintained.

On Location The Lucayan Many people call it "Freeport" after its capital city, but Grand Bahama Island, just a 52-mile hop from Florida's eastern coast, has much to offer beyond its downtown area. Tourists are starting to get the idea, heading off on world-class bonefish expeditions and ecotourism trips. But how could GBI capture a larger share of the meetings market? After a five-year effort, the answer is now under construction: the new Lucayan Harbour Plaza Resort. GBI officials predict that the $250 million Lucayan project will reposition their island as a premier meeting destination.
A short drive from downtown Freeport, the Lucayan promises to offer a world of its own. And, from what I experienced of the first phase, Reef Village (formerly the Grand Bahama Beach Hotel), which opened in April, it will deliver on that promise. Named for the original American tribe that thrived on the island before Columbus set sail for the new world, the Lucayan Resort is keeping to its roots with bright Caribbean colors, furnishings, and artwork.
The 550 guest rooms, seven-plus acres of white sand beach, newly renovated 18-hole Lucayan Country Club course, and Camp Lucaya for the kids are all up and running. The next two phases, on track for completion in winter 2000, will add more than 40,000 square feet of meeting space, including a 17,000-square-foot ballroom. Also in the works: two hotel wings with 800 rooms and suites, a registration area, a full-service spa, tennis facilities, The Reef Club course (an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones Jr. design), a casino, shopping center, movie theater, restaurants, and two additional themed pools. --Sue Pelletier
NEW AND IMPROVED The Los Angeles Marriott Downtown has completed a $6 million renovation that expanded its Concierge Level rooms to three floors and renovated all 469 guest rooms. Also new is the 2,000-square-foot Marriott Health Club. The hotel offers more than 25,000 square feet of meeting space.
As part of a $3 million program, the Sheraton Meadowlands Hotel & Conference Center in East Rutherford, N.J., has added an IACC-certified conference center. The only facility of its kind in the Meadowlands area, the new conference center is part of a project that also will renovate guest rooms and public spaces. The facility opened this month with more than 26,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space. The hotel is targeting business meetings, particu-
larly in the pharmaceutical market.
Phase one of the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center Expansion in San Antonio is complete--a newly constructed section that is a state-of-the-art meeting facility. Phases two and three of the $194 million project will extend the San Antonio River Walk through the center and bring the center's total contiguous exhibit space to 440,000 square feet. Completion is set for 2001.
Marriott Conference Centers has taken over management of the Kingsgate Conference Center at the University of Cincinnati. The 20,000-square-foot center offers a 5,355-square-foot ballroom, two boardrooms, and two amphitheaters. The center has fiber optics throughout and T1 lines in meeting rooms, which are connected to all 206 guest rooms.
The 283-room Hilton Vancouver Metrotown is open in Burnaby, B.C., 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver. It is part of The Crystal, a development that also includes 22,500 square feet of meeting space and 210,000 square feet of retail space. The hotel itself offers 15,000 square feet of meeting space with high-speed Internet access.
About 15 meeting planners took part in a fam trip to Boise, Idaho, in September. One of the activities included white-water rafting on the Payette River, courtesy of Cascade Raft Company. The group also visited the Doubletree Riverside and Downtown hotels, Courtyard by Marriott, the Owyhee Plaza Hotel, and the Holiday Inn, as well as the Ameritel Spectrum, the Boise Art, Historical & Black History Museum, and the Discovery Center. Another highlight was a visit to the Old Idaho Penitentiary and Botanical Gardens, one of the area's more popular meeting venues.

On June 19, 2012, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to give operational control of all of America's public lands to one agency: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). H.R. 2578 includes the National Security and Federal Land Protection Act as well as 13 other bills, and would suspend outright 16 environmental laws, including the Endangered Species Act, within 100 miles of U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada.
What's more, the CBP would have immediate access to develop roads and infrastructure on the more than 600 million acres of national parks, monuments, Indian reservations, wilderness, wildlife refuges, and other lands managed by U.S. Departments of Interior (DOI) and Agriculture (USDA), anywhere in the country. From Redwood National Park to the Statue of Liberty, this measure would threaten America's most treasured lands and waters.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security does not support this legislation, and a recent General Accounting Office report concluded that current federal laws do not impede border protection. The National Security and Federal Land Protection Act was sponsored by House National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands Subcommittee Chairman Rob Bishop (R-Utah).
